/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Modern Technology Corp. (OTC:MOTG)
(BULLETIN BOARD: MOTG) , a business development and acquisition
company, announced today that it has entered into a Letter of
Intent to purchase the assets of Mobile Sound, Inc., headquartered

"Mobile Sound is an acquisition based on our nationwide expansion
plans and growth strategy for the Sound City model," said Anthony
K. Welch, chairman of Modern Technology Corp. "The addition of the
Mobile Sound assets to our portfolio moves us closer to our
year-end target of $20,000,000 in overall MOTG assets and
revenues." "The Mobile Sound acquisition is the first among many we
have planned for the Sound City model and nationwide expansion,"
said Kamel Yassin, Chairman/CEO of Sound City, Inc. and MOTG's
